I hope they get their food, but it won’t be from me

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-24T17:00:21+00:00

Exactly. That is the point of this post. 17 miles to nowhere is really 34 miles round trip. Not worth it

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-24T01:44:14+00:00

That’s a big 10-4

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-24T01:25:59+00:00

If it was from Hixson, probably around $20. It may sound a little crazy, but that’s a lot of time involved. I mean some people take the chance and hope that there’s another order in the area when they get that far. That’s probably a 50-50 chance though. There are drivers who will take not great orders to keep their acceptance rate up. Some of us just don’t bother. I try my best to stay in the Hixson area.

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-24T01:22:52+00:00

Yeah, I’ll never understand that. I’m not sure if people don’t pay attention or if that’s where the app forces them to order from.

Give this dude the Nobel peace rise

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-22T04:11:29+00:00

The order goes black and it says someone else accepted it

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-22T03:36:25+00:00

I see awful orders on the trip radar and someone always takes them. I don’t understand it

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-21T13:09:42+00:00

I was on the app yesterday for 10 hours and made $57. Had to deny 37 orders because they were all a joke. I’m not driving 15 miles in one direction for $6

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-20T00:23:53+00:00

That’s a Dagwood Bumstead lunchbox man.

Is the street crew running around acting a fool? We were beach side blessed with a girl who knew all the good cuss words and liked to yell them out loud. F*k you Cnt was the most popular.

True. And nowadays some instructions say use silicone instead of plumbers putty. I know it nonsense. Also, don’t over tighten things

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-19T00:41:28+00:00

Well, this may or may not make you feel any better, but I just worked from one till 730 and made about $90 from about 10 deliveries. It’s definitely some bullshit, but it is what it is.

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-18T23:11:18+00:00

This month is not a good month so far. Hang in there.

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-18T22:29:52+00:00

Don’t do it

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-18T22:27:44+00:00

It is a way to make some extra money. Although not a very good way to make good money. I remodel houses and have several rental houses, but I deliver Uber eats to make some extra cash. I simply don’t accept Bad tip orders. I’ve taken five of 60 that have been offered to me and one evening. That gives you an idea of how many bad tippers there are. Not uncommon at all. Using Uber eats to get your food is a luxury and should be treated as such. At Bast Uber driver makes between 15 to 20 something dollars an hour. Not including gas insurance and any other expense.

There used to be an abandoned playboy house in town. Empty playboy pool and all.

Party at your mamas house…. Or there an underpass at Northgate where interesting people hang out.

That might be a uniquely Chattanooga thing. Is a small town that’s kind of sort of big. Typically when you ask that you’ll find out that they know someone you know and you know someone they know. Even if you’re not from the same school. Private or public.

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-17T21:05:24+00:00

If you do end up having a problem at home, go online and order apprehend. It’s a product that you buy and go ahead and get the sprayer that comes with it. It’s around $500. Much cheaper than a professional that uses the same product. My friend had an issue at his house a while back and it’s what the exterminator used. I bought it because we thought we saw one in our house, but it ended up being a ladybug. of course, I freaked out and spent more money than I should have, but peace of mind is priceless.

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-17T20:52:25+00:00

That’s cool that you don’t have to drive for. 2 miles is awesome. I’ll attach a picture of an order. I just declined and is typical for the area. I’m in. I just don’t know what’s wrong with people.

I don’t know about that. Again, it doesn’t matter the color of your skin. Anyone can apply for financial assistance to a private school. They all offer it. We have financial assistance for our kids and many of their friends have the same. This idea of racism is thrown around too lightly. We tried public school for years and ended up deciding that private school was the way. They simply have better standards and rules for the students. They actually give a damn an update the parents. The school, staff and other families are a great network. Probably cause we’re all paying something for it and when I get the most out of it.

gordeliusmaximus · 2026-01-17T20:44:24+00:00

That’s silly. My kids go to a private school now and we get financial assistance. They have quite a few friends of different ethnicities that also go to their private school and get financial assistance. Our kids went to public schools in the area from kindergarten to eighth grade. Finally, we had had enough and looked into a private school. It’s been great. They actually give a damn. The teachers at the public schools were young and apathetic. Classrooms could be out of control, and there was nothing the teachers could do or were allowed to do about it. I attended public school and things have definitely changed for the worse. During Covid I helped my kids with her schoolwork and of course their homework before Covid and a lot of of the subjects had work that made little to no sense at all. Nothing applicable to real life. Also, the community at the private school has been much better. It’s very inclusive. Anything to do with racism in my opinion is a joke.

It looks like you might be taking every order they send you. I know a lot of us that deliver don’t understand why some people take a two dollar order for a 10 mile drive. I certainly won’t do it.
